The snow woman comforted her, "My lady, we'll get there eventually if we walk slowly. Gui Gui and the others have already arrived, so it's alright."
Moving eastward step by step, they chose to take a shortcut in order to save time. They entered an alley, where the pitch-black darkness slowed them down even further.
Following the faintly visible path towards the alley entrance, the Snow Woman suddenly stopped in the middle of the alley.
"Snow Woman?"
The snow woman, who had been supporting her, released her arm and floated into the air. Blue demonic energy fell, and surging ice and snow filled the entire alley! Waves of cold air rose from the ground.
Who's behind that?
A chilling voice echoed through the alley, utterly silent. The air seemed frozen, even breathing felt like it was solidifying. The Snow Woman clenched her fists, staring into the shadows.
That place is a bottomless pit; anyone who ventures in will be swallowed up, their blood sucked, their flesh eaten, and even their bones will be swallowed whole!
She knew many people were watching her.
"Attack at the three points."
The beautiful woman lit the talisman in her hand.
The Snow Woman conjured a magic circle in the air, and countless ice shards flew out of the circle and attacked the darkness. A blood-red demon mask flew out of the darkness, and a sharp claw landed on the Snow Woman!
"Word of Power, protect!"
The beautiful woman set up a barrier to block the ghostly face, and a thick, malevolent aura surged forth! In the shadows, two red dots, like two candle flames, became bloody holes.
“Thirty-two monks~”
The cute male voice sounded like a death knell, and the Snow Woman trembled.
Two figures emerged from the shadows: one, Hannya, dressed in white blood-stained robes, strode with an alluring gait; the other, Kuro Seimei, dressed mysteriously, wore a fake smile.
The Onmyoji who walked out from behind Hannya wore the skin of Kuro Seimei, and his face was covered by a thick purplish-brown makeup that concealed his true appearance.
"Are you the beautiful woman by the autumn waters?"
Before Qiu Shuiyiren could ask a question, Hei Qingming asked first.
"Who are you?"
Qiu Shuiyi looked at him warily, sensing that he was up to no good.
"You don't know me, that's true. But you should know our guild leader. No, I should say you know our guild."
Kuro Seimei smiled smugly.
"Falling in love with purple?"
Qiu Shuiyi's heart skipped a beat.
The Onmyoji opposite him slapped his fan together and chuckled sinisterly, "That's right."
After a few seconds of silence, the beautiful woman asked, "Why are you following me?"
"I'm going to stop you! Am I the only one who thinks it's beneath me to fight with a woman who can't even walk properly?"
Kuro Seimei teased, his voice utterly undisguised in his contempt.
"I didn't fight with her."
She had never even met her.
"Wow, that's impressive!"
Kuro Seimei raised a contemptuous smile and pointed at her with the handle of his fan, saying, "I'm giving you a gift today, accept it carefully~ Don't be so naive as to provoke people you shouldn't provoke anymore, this is my advice."
The Snow Maiden in the air made an attack move, and before Qiu Shui Yi Ren could react, Hannya suddenly let out a giggle.
"A five-star, level three snow woman? That's impressive~ But I'm even more impressive than you~"
As Hannya slowly approached, Qiu Shuiyi saw that Yuki-onna was instantly bound by Kuro Seimei on the other side!
Before she could unseal herself, she saw a blood-red mask fall in front of her, and bloody fingerprints were deeply imprinted on the mask in her eyes.
-
In the distance, sand slowly slips through an hourglass, each grain like a piece of gold. Under the bright lights, countless yin-yang monasteries of all sizes stand at close intervals.
In a large kitchen, an ordinary-looking Onmyoji looked up at the sky. His face was somewhat thin, and he sat there like a sand sculpture.
"Traveler, throw away your trash."
An Onmyoji walked by, leaving behind several bags of trash.
"Eh."
The handsome Onmyoji responded, seemingly realizing what was happening, and then coolly walked out, hooking the trash bag with his finger.
When he went to throw away the trash, he suddenly noticed that the moonlight was very bright tonight. Following the moonlight to the other side, he saw a medium-sized shack.
His gaze lingered there for a few seconds, then he lowered his head and murmured, "She's not here."
After hesitating for a few steps, he suppressed the urge to continue searching and turned back. After a few steps, someone passed by and pulled him back as he walked forward with his head down, ignoring everything else.
"Hey! What are you doing... Muxue?"
The person who pulled him back was Qianshan Muxue.
Looking up at the name above Mu Xue's head, it had changed to "I will walk with you through a thousand mountains".
You changed your name?
Tian Ma Xingke pointed to the top of his head and asked.
Mu Xue nodded and said "Mmm," her gaze falling on the Xinghe Yunhai Liao (Star River Cloud Sea Lodge) not far away.
"Has she not arrived yet?"
His eyes showed worry.
"She's online?"
Tian Ma Xingke took out his phone and opened the online contacts list. Sure enough, the four characters "Qiu Shui Yi Ren" were lit up in his contacts.
"Since he's online, why isn't he here? Is he still angry?" He sighed softly, lowering his voice.
Mu Xue looked at the entrance. "I told him I would help him, and he agreed. He hasn't arrived yet, so I want to go back and check on him."
"Go back now?"
Tian Ma Xingke was stunned when he heard his words. The final was about to begin. The competition was held once a year, and everyone had been waiting for this day for a year. Could he... bear to do that?
"Yes. I hope you can help me look after the Yin-Yang Bureau. If there's anything urgent in the Bureau, just call me."
Mu Xue turned on her phone's sound, and only then did Tian Ma Xingke realize that he was the head of a guild. Was it really okay for him to abandon his guild members and leave? Wouldn't he be removed from his position as guild leader?
"Are you... really going back to look for it?"
Tian Ma Xingke scratched his head. He felt that he should also go find Yiren, but his guild leader would definitely not let him go.
Mu Xue looked up at the sky and said, "Only half of the members of Love Purple came today. I'm afraid they might do something irreversible."
